Where the Devils Are

"I will tell you a story.  In a certain village there was a tavern.  In my time no woman would enter the tavern, only the men.  It was full of men drinking and cursing and fighting and so on.  In this tavern there was a single devil.  He had nothing to do; he was sleeping, because the men sinned without his help.  But in the village there was a very poor house with a widow and six children, and she was praying.  Around the house there were legions of devils."

(From Father George Calciu - Interviews, Homilies, and Talks)
